Criminal records stay active in their system for 15 years after completion of the sentence. Anyone requesting an arrest record must pay a $15 fee per file and can search using name and date of birth.

Minnesota arrest records will contain basic information like name, age, date of birth, address, phone, gender, race, height weight, fingerprints and sometimes a mug shot. Additionally arrests, the date, and place of arrest, warrants, charges, and convictions will be on there too. Often reports will include driving records and accident history as well.

Not only are police reports in Minnesota public records, but the individual police departments also make them readily available to anyone to inspect. According to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13, they do not charge a fee to let someone review paper documents or body camera data. However, if you do want a printed or electronic copy, you will have to pay a fee.

You can request police reports in person at any of the local police departments in Minnesota.
Mugshots are police photos taken of suspects and convicted criminals. They are used by investigators, witnesses, and even victims to identify perpetrators. The use of mugshots began in the 1800s after French policeman Alphonse Bertillon started using them during the booking process. A mugshot consists of two angles (front and side views) attached to form one image.
Minnesota mugshots are also readily available to the general public. Not all police station locations supply them, but they do offer up information on who you can contact to get a copy. Typically, the local jails handle this type of request. Mugshots of individuals arrested in Minnesota can also be found on news sites, media outlets, and public record repositories online.

A peace officer of the state can arrest someone with a valid, legal arrest warrant, but there are also other instances when they can arrest someone without a warrant. One of those times is when a public offense is committed in the presence of the officer. When someone commits a felony, not in the presence of an officer is another. When an officer is aware of a felony and has reasonable cause to believe a person committed it, they can arrest them for it. Other instances are suspicion of domestic abuse, serious misdemeanors, and violation of parole.
All MN peace officers are allowed to arrest people in the state. Along with local police officers, they include “MN State Patrol, agents of the Division of Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement, state conservation officers, Metropolitan Transit police officers, Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Unit officers, and Department of Commerce Fraud Bureau Unit officers, and the statewide coordinator of the Violent Crime Coordinating Council.”
When someone is arrested, but charges are not filed, these will not show on an arrest record. If they were charged with a crime, they will show up and stay on their record indefinitely if they don’t apply to have them expunged. They can apply for expungement only if they have no other crimes for at least ten years. Convictions and other serious charges will stay on their record forever. Offenders do not have the option of getting them sealed or removed ever.

After that they can then apply to the courts to have the records sealed or expunged.
